Nanxi didn’t go with Lu Yinchu, but she was fortunate enough to meet his friend and his friend’s woman the next day!
Because they specifically visited the Lu family, to pay respects to Lu’s grandfather!
At the sight of these two, only eight words flashed across Nanxi’s mind: a brilliant man and a beautiful woman, as stunning as celestial beings!
Nanxi vowed that she had never seen such an attractive couple in her life, the key being that their demeanor was also exceptional!
Nanxi stood at the top of the stairs and actually forgot to go down!
Only when Lu Yinchu downstairs spotted her and called her did she realize how silly she looked and hurriedly descended the stairs!
Lu Yinchu introduced her, "This is my wife!"
"The one who called you during the meeting last time?"
The man smiled at her, "Nice to meet you. My surname is Shen!"
Nanxi was somewhat taken aback as she shook hands with him. The man’s fingertips were somewhat cold, and his fingers were surprisingly soft, which surprised her!
The woman next to the man shook hands with Nanxi and smiled. The man introduced, "This is my wife!"
Nanxi noticed a slight glint in the woman’s eye, the meaning of which was unclear. They quickly took their seats!
Mr. Shen and his wife didn’t stay for long, they left within an hour, it seemed like the woman was not in good health!
As they waved goodbye, Lu Yinchu went to send them off. Nanxi sat in the living room, still marvelling. She never thought there could be a couple so well-suited for each other in this world!
It was hard to believe, as both of them looked mature and steady, their eye expressions were natural and relaxed, hardly the impulsive type!
Besides, they’re both married. Do married people need to elope?
Nanxi thought, this must be a heart-pounding and romantic game played by the rich!
However, she held them in good regard and secretly hoped for their happiness!
When Lu Yinchu returned, Nanxi was already back in her room, seeing Lu Yinchu coming in, she smiled, "Are you done sending off your friend?"
Lu Yinchu nodded, "All done!"
"Hey, did you ask your friend why he eloped?"
Lu Yinchu furrowed his brows slightly, "Why should I ask that?"
Nanxi blinked, "I’m curious!"
Lu Yinchu looked slightly displeased, "Are you that interested in my friend?"
Nanxi shook her head, "Not really, I’m just curious. He’s so handsome and his wife is so beautiful, they’re a match made in heaven, why should I take interest in them? Besides, even if I am interested, they might not give me the time of day!"
"Ahem! What I meant was, it would be impossible for me to be interested in him, just as it would be impossible for him to be interested in me!"
He coughed lightly, "So, you’re implying that my taste is questionable?"
Nanxi was taken aback, she nodded, "Indeed, a bit questionable!"
The next day, Monday, Nanxi and Lu Yinchu went to work as usual. Lu Yinchu drove very slowly.
He was preoccupied with the matter of the so-called "senior", wanting to remind Nanxi, but worried about her explosive temper!
If he couldn’t make his point through Nanxi, then he would have to use some method to make this "senior" back off!
A man’s senses are very keen, he didn’t believe that the man had no feelings for Nanxi!
"Yes, Nanxi, what’s the theme of the manuscript you’re busily writing?" asked Lu Yinchu, starting to probe Nanxi!
"It’s about the relationship between juvenile crime and mental health education!". Nanxi answered fluently, without suspecting, "Why? Are you interested?"
"Not quite, but the theme sounds good. However, it is too broad, after all, this is a societal issue, which involves many problems. It’s not something that can be solved by a single report....."
"Lu Yinchu, are you rubbing salt into wounds here?" Nanxi was quite unsatisfied and was even a bit angry!
Lu Yinchu coughed lightly, "No, I’m merely stating a fact! But while this issue seems wide-ranging and complex, writing about it might arouse some attention, serving as a warning and inspiration. I think that would be a good thing!"
Nanxi’s expression softened a bit, "That’s the plan in the first place! What my senior, Feifei, and I are doing is useful. It’s valuable for both society and us as individuals!"
"Sure!" Lu Yinchu nodded, "It seems that your ’senior’ is a person with a strong sense of social responsibility! By the way, what’s your senior’s name?"
"His surname is Lin, Lin Pinzhi! There’s a rumor in the magazine that he’s the nephew of our chief editor. I’ve never asked if it’s true, but I don’t think it is. If he was, he wouldn’t be working with us in such a cramped space and even lose the conference room to other groups without a word!"
There was a flicker in Lu Yinchu’s eyes. He seemed deep in thought but didn’t say anything!
Near the magazine, Nanxi got off the car, they bid each other goodbye, and Lu Yinchu gave her a firm kiss on the lips!
After saying goodbye, Nanxi was in a good mood and happily agreed Lu Yinchu’s offer to pick her up after work!
As Lu Yinchu watched Nanxi’s figure disappear, he finally started the car and watched the magazine building recede in the rear-view mirror, he dialed a number...
"Hello, Mo Yan, help me look up someone. A reporter from Qingfeng Magazine: Lin Pinzhi."
Nanxi didn’t wait for Liao Feifei at the entrance. She went straight to the third floor office where she has the keys.
When she got there, she was surprised to find that Lin Pinzhi was already there!
He had never arrived this early before!
"Senior, good morning!"
Nanxi greeted Lin Pinzhi!
Lin Pinzhi smiled, "Morning! By the way, I’ve read the preliminary draft you sent me last night, it’s very good, in fact, it’s surprisingly good!"
Nanxi lingered, "Really?"
"Yes. So Nanxi, I want to thank you! Because of your hard work and dedication, we finished the initial draft one week ahead of schedule. And you wrote so well that basically, there’s no need for a major revision. I believe, it will definitely pass!"
"That’s great!" Nanxi was pleased, "But senior, don’t thank me, because it’s not just my credit, you and Feifei helped me a lot! It’s I who should thank you!"
"No need for formalities! Just keep working hard together!"
Nanxi nodded, "Yes! Working hard together!"
"By the way, Feifei has something to do this morning and can’t come. Are you free? Accompany me to an interview, it’s in the city, not far!"
"Oh, sure! I’m free!"
Lin Pinzhi handed over a file to her, "These are the materials of the interviewee. Take a look at it first, I need to go to the editor’s office for a bit, and we’ll leave in twenty minutes!"
Nanxi nodded, "Alright!"
After Lin Pinzhi left the office, Nanxi was about to return to her seat with the file, but she slightly paused as she saw the name on the cover page. The person they were going to interview was surprisingly Han Qing!
